every chart about the American economy starts to diverge in 1978. So until 38 to 78, we have golden 40 years of economic prosperity. We create the greatest middle class the world has ever seen. And our productivity is sky high, but our wages match our productivity. After 78, Productivity is still sky high, best in the world. Okay. Sometimes people, oh, the American worker's lazy.

Not remotely true. We work our ass off. Okay. But wages flatline and they've been flatlining for about 50 years straight. And the reason is because the Supreme court made bribery legal. So in order to get past the Supreme court, you only have one choice. That's an amendment. And so you have to get an amendment. Amendments are very difficult, but so for example,

You need two-thirds of Congress to even propose the amendment. So, well, why would Congress propose an amendment that would take away their own power, right? Because almost everybody in Congress got there through corruption. Their main talent is I can kiss corporate ass better than you can, right? So they take the most amount of money.

A person with more money in Congress wins 95% of the time, right? But the good news is the founding fathers were geniuses. And they put in a second outlet. They said, or two thirds of the states can call for a convention where you can propose an amendment. And after an amendment is proposed, then three quarters of the states have to ratify it.

That's what makes it so difficult because getting three quarters of the states, there's so many red states, so many blue states, getting three quarters of the states to agree is near impossible. But there is one issue that the whole country agrees on. 93% of Americans believe that politicians serve their donors and not their voters. So this is the one thing we can unite on.

If we unite on this, we push our states to call for a convention. We all go to the convention together. We bring democracy alive, and we propose amendments to the Constitution. The best amendment gets three-quarters of the states to ratify. You go above the Supreme Court, and you solve the whole thing.

Well, eventually they will, right? And so that's why I actually have a lot of hope, even though things seem super dark right now. And that's why I was for Bernie. So I can come back to that. But why hasn't Trump done it is easy. He's like, what am I, a sucker? The guy gives me money. I do what the guy wants. Why would I get rid of that? That's how I got into power.

And so that's how I'm doing it now. I go to Miriam Edelson and say, give me $100 million and I'll let Israel annex the West Bank, right? So I'll go to the oil companies and give me a billion dollars and I'll give you tax subsidies, I'll let you drill, I'll take away regulation. Why would I stop that?
